"keep your mouth shut and hang on as long as you can" - Ron Hill (of a race where he was about to throw in the towel, only to have his rival chuck it in a microsecond before him)
"And I tell you, if you have the desire for knowledge and the power to give it physical expression, go out and explore. If you are a brave man you will do nothing: if you are fearful you may do much, for none but cowards have need to prove their bravery. Some will tell you that you are mad, and nearly all will say, 'what is the use?' ... If you march your Winter Journeys you will have your reward, so long as all you want is a penguin's egg" - Apsley Cherry Garrard, The Worst Journey in the World
